PHILADELPHIA — Normally a man whose actions speak louder than his words, Jason Peters stepped out of the zone to make an amusing prediction after the first full practice of training camp Friday.

All the way back from surgery to repair a torn Achilles’ tendon that wiped out his 2012 season, the perennial Pro Bowl player promised the Eagles would be better this year.

“I guarantee we win more than four games,” Peters said after the NovaCare Complex cleared out of VIPs and assorted corporate guests. “That’s probably the worst we could have done is win four last year. But I guarantee we’re going to win more than four this year.”

The assurance probably won’t strike fear into the Eagles’ opponents this season, particularly in the NFC East.

But the division cellar-dwelling Eagles have to start somewhere. Almost anywhere is better than the 4-12 record they presented last year partly because their offensive line was ill-equipped to play musical chairs when the injury bug bit.

How bad was it at the all-important position of left tackle, where Demetrius Bell and King Dunlap filled in for Peters? Peters might have been an upgrade with a torn Achilles’ tendon.

“I don’t think there is a player like him in the world, to be honest with you,” Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said. “Someone that big, that fast and that athletic? I think I kind of catch myself in practice just going wow! He’s 350 pounds and he runs like he’s a tight end.”

Peters moved pretty fast off the field back in June. So fast it appeared his comeback might be detoured.

Peters was arrested, handcuffed and given tickets for drag-racing and resisting by flight in Monroe, La., per reports.

Peters eventually got the matter straightened out with authorities as the charges were reduced to a fine for driving with improper equipment.

Kelly discussed the matter with Peters and said he considers it closed.

“It wasn’t anything major. It was a ticket. (Authorities) dropped it. They threw it out. It wasn’t anything major so I was never worried about that.”

Right now, all Peters is concerned about is pulling his weight on an offensive line that looks like the strength of the team, providing it stays healthy.

Center Jason Kelce (knee) and right guard Todd Herremans (foot) are back on the field after season-ending surgeries. Right tackle Lane Johnson, the first-round pick out of Oklahoma, is as athletic as Peters but with a lot of work ahead. There’s depth with tackle Dennis Kelly, center-guard Dallas Reynolds and Danny Watkins, the first-round pick playing both guard spots.

“I’m just glad to be back out there after missing a year,” Peters said. “I felt good today. A little rusty but that’s why you go to training camp, to work on it and try to get better.”

Peters has no medical limitations when he practices.

Now, about that guarantee.

How many games does Peters think the Eagles will win?

“Can’t say,” Peters said. “I wish all of them.”

For the time being, the guarantee is at least five wins. When Peters gets stronger, the sky is the limit.
